No they aren't. The 'Grav Lance' is a complete misnomer. The sole function of a grav lance is to disrupt gravetic devices on the target at extremely short range (sidewalls mainly, I forget if they did anything else). You then follow up by firing into their unprotected hull with actual weapons.

They're much faster than simple Super Missiles.

The whole distance scale is much grater than anything considered in Spaceships.

Of course, said scale you've got to represent the travel time of the missiles, fast as it is, because it's an important aspect of the tactics.
